KENET has setup remote teaching classrooms at each of the campuses of the participating Universities using the KENET web conferencing system. The KENET Web Conference system is an online service for organizing collaborative activities such as webinars, webcasts and meetings. The system can also be extended to teaching through the setup of appropriate audio visual infrastructure. It offers data streams of text-based messages, presentations, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously across geographically dispersed locations. In general, the web conferencing facility can be used for training events, lectures, or presentations from a web-connected computer to other web-connected computers made possible by Internet technologies
